2004 Clos Mogador
93 points from Robert Parker: `Clos Manyetes is owned by Rene Barbier of Clos Mogador. The 2004 Manyetes offers an expressive but brooding aromatic profile with mineral, smoke, blueberry, and black currant liqueur. Larger in scale than the 2003, with more mouth-filling fruit, it is beautifully balanced and nearly seamless. There is tannin to lose but it can barely be noticed. Give this top effort 2-3 years to evolve and drink it through 2017.` 91 points Stephen Tanzers' International Wine Cellar: `Ruby-red. Powerful dark berry and plum aromas are complicated by dried rose, licorice, espresso and cured meat. Fat and oily, with deeply concentrated blackberry and bitter cherry pit flavors, solid tannins and bright mineral lift. Youthfully taut but there's very impressive material and balance here.
